+<h2>Important Notes</h2>
+<p>Upgrade process can be done only by administrator of the first
+company created during FrontAccounting installation. This person is
+considered as a site admin who have granted access to potentially
+dangerous setup options, like Setup/Software Upgrade.</p>
+<p>In the following description sections related to older FA versions are
+prefixed with <span style="background: rgb(235, 97, 61) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;">[color tags]</span><span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;">
+. Y</span>ou can skip tagged fragment safely if currently FA
+application is newer than the version in tag.</p>
+<p>Upgrade process consists of up to four stages, some of them are
+optional:</p>
+<ol>
+ <li><p>Application source files update
+ </p>
+ </li><li><p>Database upgrade – this step is needed only during
+ upgrade which involves change in major application version number
+ (e.g. from 2.2.x to 2.3.x), and sometimes during upgrade from beta
+ release to stable version. Otherwise this step can be skipped.</p>
+ </li><li><p>Final cleanup – is needed when some old source files,
+ obsoleted by new release should be removed.</p>
+ </li><li><p>New features configuration – this is optional step
+ needed for most major releases and some minor ones.
+ </p>
+</li></ol>
+<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Before starting upgrade ensure nobody
+is using the application and make database backup for all companies.
+To be on safe side backup also old source files, especially those
+locally customized (if any).</p>
+<p>Log into admin account of first company.<strong> </strong><strong><span style="">If
+you use a theme other than the standard 3 (aqua, cool or default),
+switch to one of these before going further.</span></strong></p>
